Ya Gotta Love the AP

Trying to demoralize U.S. military efforts in Iraq isn’t enough for the folks at the Associated Press. Now they’re attempting to undermine the morale of the Israeli Defense Forces.

In his recent article titled “Israeli troops: Hezbollah a tough enemy”, Benjamin Harvey writes:

“Israeli soldiers returning from the front in Lebanon talk of battling an intelligent, well-prepared and ruthless guerrilla army whose fighters don't seem to fear death.

The troops describe Hezbollah guerrillas hiding among civilians and in underground bunkers two or three stories deep - evidence, they say, that Hezbollah has been planning this battle for many years.”

Except for the “intelligent” description, it’s not bad so far.

Ah, but here’s the next paragraph:

"It's hard to beat them," one soldier said. "They're not afraid of anything."

Here’s another uplifting quote:

“"They're not normal soldiers, you know," Sidorenko said. "They're guerrillas. They're very smart."

To be fair, it’s not a bad article. However, why not also write a related article titled “Hezbollah muhajaddin: Those IDF guys are some badass soldiers”?
